Strategic Staffing Solutions

This company is truly sad. It doesn't matter how long you've worked there, doesn't matter how much you work, doesn't matter how much money you make the company.

Management is worthless. They hold all these meetings to make things better, nothing ever improves, and then they go golfing or partying. Expect them to not be around very much.

They like to fly people all over the place and put them in nice/fancy hotels when they don't need to. It would save them hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, to just do a video conference instead. CEO brags on her time spent flying - that's time not working and a waste of money that could be spent paying the extremely underpaid overhead employees that work to death for her.

They offer remote work and there isn't any micromanaging as long as you do your job - bonus points there I guess. But when they pay you poorly and you never get raises after years and years, it doesn't really matter after a while.

Issues are never addressed. If you have a problem, either deal with it or leave. They don't care.

Company isn't doing well so everyone is mean and treats each other poorly. You are expected to have extravagant numbers in order to make a model standard they hold you to, and it's really ridiculous. Bonuses are next to impossible to reach unless you work for the best branches and know a lot of people and work nonstop. These positions are coveted and you can assume you will never work there. Most of the branches are small and worthless, and there are only a few that produce money for the company.

Overall, there are very little perks or excitement for working for this company. Visiting in January for the company gathering is really cool, but sitting in the same room for 12+ hours for a lame power point presentation and the same exact food every single year is horrible. They try to make it exciting.

Pay is poor and don't expect much. Their PTO and sick time is on the lower end. They don't pay into your 401k or offer any exciting benefits. Strictly medical/dental/life insurance. Maternity leave benefits are also nearly non-existent, which is sad since the company is run by a woman.

I took the job out of desperation during the recession of 2009. I had to go through 3 or 4 stressful tests to get the position, then 6 weeks of additional training. A bachelor's degree was required, yet the pay was only $11.49/hr.! It was an insult and substantial pay cut. The only positive was overtime, as this was a contract position for a utility company. While the company where I was placed was very good with training and overall decent, we were treated as second class due to our contract status, given no sick days and virtually no time off, and got the leftovers when it came to picking of schedules or optional overtime. The regular employees were paid better, had decent benefits (while we had none that anyone could afford), and first ops on certain overtime. Although we were considered "long term" contract employees with a chance of being hired permanently, many people waited 7-8 years before getting hired in, and during that time without a single raise.The job was extremely stressful, often requiring mandatory overtime of 4 or more hours, and miniscule incentives. I've heard since I left in 2011 that things did get somewhat better, but only insofar as the company itself (not Strategic Staffing) began giving out actual monetary bonuses that at least helped somewhat with their paltry pay. Strategic Staffing likes to promote themselves and put their logo out there as if they are doing great things for Detroit, when my impression of them is that they represent the employers only (i.e., the people paying their fees), with little interest or concern for the welfare of their contract workers. They offered the lowest pay and yet required the most skill and experience of any agency I've every worked for, and I have worked for many. It's scandalous how they exploit the needy in Detroit while inflating their own image in the media. Perhaps they treat their more highly skilled automotive or engineering employees differently, but in my opinion they are setting the working class back decades in a city that created the middle class and unions.

I was originally hired as a supervisor. However when the recruiter called me I was offered a job on the phones. In my interview I asked if he supervisor position was available and gave my experience as a supervisor even though I had no supervisory experience within a call center environment. I was given the opportunity and the guidance and I excelled. I knew I could do it it just needs to be given the opportunity and if it wasn't for Strategic Staffing Solutions I would probably still be on the phones. 

I'm very thankful that they have those that believe in providing opportunities to individuals that have the ability to better themselves. I had wished that the contract that I was apart of which was at USAA as a supervisor for the pin and password verification Department had been longer than 6 months as I truly loved my job and the choice of choosing my path.

I started as a sourcer and felt like the recruiters and branch managers treated you like you’re beneath them.  As long as you’re the top recruiter/top branch mangager/team they pretty allowed them to treat people any way they wanted because they brought in numbers for the company. Everyday it was always reminded that if you didn’t make your numbers you could get fired. Most recruiters were very hard to contact with yet I was constantly blamed for not reaching out enough to them. I never felt any sense of job security and started to become unhappy with the job. No matter how much you sourced and helped with jobs it was never enough. One recruiter was a complete nightmare to work with but because she was the top recruiter for the company she was pretty allowed to do whatever she wanted. The atmosphere wasn’t very friendly at all this is strictly a numbers job and nothing else.

A typical day at work includes working in various stations throughout my shift. Very minimal on is to do, your given a task and that is the task you must complete throughout the day. I have learned that hard work does pay off and that working in a team is easier but working alone gets the job done efficiently. The management was more to themselves and would rarely be on the floor. Rarely would you speak to a manager on problems with a task given. Workplace culture was at a minimal as I was usually among the few of my race so there was barely any conversation among workers as they spoke languages i did not comprehend. The job was very fundamental and easy to get done no hardship working on a task. The most enjoyable part of my job was being able to get the job done and making the supervisor happy and making it easier on my team.

To be direct, throughout my work with the client, you demonstrated a lack of genuine interest in the time-related challenges I encountered. My “time follies”—such as scheduling conflicts, last-minute demands, and constant firefighting with the client—were completely disregarded. Not once did you inquire about my workload management or whether I required assistance in realigning expectations.

Furthermore, you never conducted any check-ins or inquired about my progress. Instead, you maintained silence. Even when it became evident that I was struggling, you remained hands-off. This lack of support felt more like neglect than trust.

Most importantly, you failed to care that I was left to handle the situation independently. There was no debriefing, no backup, and no acknowledgment of the additional pressure I was under. This lack of concern speaks louder than any policy or team meeting ever could.


Stay away from this Hire and fire machine. The turnover period is just months in this "Avoid at Every Cost Organization". They hire and fire even before you can spell "hello"

You may be tempted to join because of the lucrative pay rate but do not make the same mistake which everyone does. Your job will end up as a short term, bitter experience.

Pro: Good Pay Rate.

Cons: 
Unreliable, Unorganized, zero respect for employees, Clients mistreat employees, zero flexibility even if you have emergencies. Extremely bad infrastructure, they do not even turn up the heat in cold wintry days. You end up using your resources like phone, internet, etc

Summary: DO NOT apply here, You may regret for a long long time. 

Look else where if you are looking for Job satisfaction, work ethics, employee culture, long term association.

The knowledge & experience I gained working at S3 was impeccable.  I've never worked as hard any other place, which made me confident I could exceed expectations anywhere. 
There is a saying that you have to "drink the green kool-aid" & buy into the over-achiever culture if you want to be a success there.  It's truer than you think.  There is a slight cult atmosphere!  Butt-kissing is welcomed & expected, but once the VP staff & owners believe they've gotten all they could from you, you are easily ignored.




I have worked as data entry analyst for 2 years. Turnaround rate is high because volume is ridiculous. Most new trainees last a month or 2 at most.
Temp agency is very hands off and management is out of touch with their own workers.
Instead of hiring people to replace those who leave, extra work is "distributed" on top of already existing work load.
Not worth what you get paid. Hard work and excelling numbers/performance goes virtually unnoticed. 
Your lucky if you get any incentives for years of hard work.(most i got was a measly 5 dollars for Starbucks after a year of pulling above average percentage productivity.)

The work is easy, but you are on your feet for long periods of time, so your feet/back probably will hurt!! Pay is based on where they send you!! My experience has been positive,I was interviewed by the Regional Manager and he is Great!!! I have about 15 yrs management experience myself which probably helped with getting on a 1-2 week waiting list for a good site. My daughter works with me currently and is also on the same waiting list I'm on... The site we are working at for the next 1-2 weeks doesn't pay as much, but the people are very friendly, and have told us both they like our work! It is what you make it!!!! Work hard and show up...they will find you a good site!!!
